New Zealand's most successful Olympian, canoeist Lisa Carrington has been invested as Dame Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit at Government House in Wellington.
Dame Lisa has won six Olympic medals, five golds and a bronze.
She became the first female triple gold medallist from New Zealand when she competed at the Tokyo Olympic Games last year.
In February she claimed the Halberg sportswoman of the year category for a fifth successive time and also won the Supreme Award for a second time, having previously won it in 2016.
